I tried switching recently, mainly because I wanted treesitter. I couldn’t get it working after half a day messing about, a lot of documentation seemed out of date, and I don’t think my standard plugins + .vimrc worked out of the box. My main focus is getting things done, not fiddling with configs and versions, so I gave up. I figure I’ll try again in a couple of years if it’s still tempting.

Weird. That hasn't been my experience at all.

I copied .vimrc to .config/nvim/init.vim, did a :PluginInstall and was up and running.

I fiddled with it for half a day 5 years ago to get it working and have reaped the benefits for 5 years.
